What Makes This Career Test Different
What makes this career quiz different is why it matters most. The old career infrastructure—entry-level roles that taught you the job, mentorship programs, predictable advancement—is collapsing. AI is absorbing traditional learning roles. Remote work is reshaping collaboration. The ladder everyone climbed? It's gone.
That's why understanding your foundation matters. You can't follow a map that no longer exists. You need to architect from your blueprint.
